I’m Adam, and I’ve been consciously practicing lucid dreaming and exploring the out of body state for over 10 years now. I first became interested in lucid dreaming after experiencing sleep paralysis at about 14 years old, followed by a range of vivid dreams and false awakenings. I then started my deep journey down the rabbit hole, exploring and researching philosophy, psychology, science and the occult, and never looked back. Now I help others share the experience.
